I have a cross platform project that I am testing on both a "Linux ike 2.6.12-nitro5 #4 SMP Sat Sep 10 12:47:01 CEST 2005 i686 Intel(R) "Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux and a "SunOS login-9 5.8 Generic_117350-06 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10". I do the main development on the linux box and every once in a while I make a package and test it on the SunOS box. My problem is that the libtool version that is shipped with gentoo (1.5.20) includes a "sanity check" to ensure ltmain.sh and libtool.m4 have same version number. The version number is extracted from ltmain.sh with: grep '^[[:space:]]*VERSION=' ltmain.sh | sed -e 's|^[[:space:]]*VERSION=||' but the sed version on the solaris box does not support [:space:] as a character class and thus I get following error message: *** [Gentoo] sanity check failed! *** *** libtool.m4 and ltmain.sh have a version mismatch! *** *** (libtool.m4 = 1.5.20, ltmain.sh = VERSION=1.5.20) *** by instead using grep '^[[:space:]]*VERSION=' ltmain.sh | sed -e 's|^[ ]*VERSION=||' the problem is solved.
i dont think we can use any character classes, be it with grep or sed if we just rewrite it and put in the space/tab ourselves it should be fine i think
fixed in 1.5.20-r1, thanks for reporting :)
